[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP you committed to pay for college. Your son is making his own choices. If he isn't super motivated it's all the more important he get that degree.[b] If the school thought he was unworthy they'd be kicking him out.[/b] Use a tough love approach and by that I mean the opposite: shower him with love and let him know how much you care about him and his future and keep the dialog open. Encourage or require him to start visiting his career center to start thinking ahead. [/quote] As long as the checks clear, schools want the cash, and they have systematically lowered rigor and removed requirements (https://edsource.org/2017/cal-state-drops-intermediate-algebra-requirement-allows-other-math-courses/585595), so really, anyone who doesn't physically leave campus can plow through a BA. Most students I see "kicked out" were on financial aid and either stopped attending classes and/or completion percentages or grant/loan limits were exhausted.[/quote]
